You ever watched the Tom Hanks’ movie Greyhound? Tom Hanks didn’t know exactly where or when the German U-Boat submarines would pop up. That basically describes the McRib sandwich at McDonald’s. It’ll pop up every few years, when or where is always a surprise. But this newest arrival seems to be nationwide, and available at every McDonalds.


So I came specifically to this McDonalds for the McRib. How was it?


It’s ok. It’s a soft bun that holds a restructured piece of pork shaped like a rib, that is drenched in BBQ sauce. Just like makeup or clothing covers physical blemishes on our skin, the BBQ sauce hides whatever the actual meat tastes like. When I was asked what the McRib tastes like, the only thing I could think of was, it tasted like BBQ sauce.


So while this Haley’s comet of a fast food can be seen currently. Whether or not it’s worth getting can be up for debate. It’s not bad, but it’s not great at the same time.
